Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for holding fluid or particle compositions and which includes an inner lining of a peelable coating applied to an inner side of the container where the peelable coating also is applied around an upper edge of the container and to the outside of a round going skirt extending downwards from an upper end of the outside of the container, and to a method of manufacturing such a container.
  • the container can be recycled, i.e., as plastic scrap.
  • the paint container liner system includes disposable liners and an open container for receiving at least one of the disposable liners.
  • the liners are sized and configured to fit into the inside of the container and around the rim of the container.
  • the liners are maintained in position in the container by a suction generated during installation, by a non curing adhesive interposed between the liner and the container, by the liners being stretched around the rim of the container or configured with a rounded bottom to retain the liner in place during use.
  • a problem with these known containers with liners is that when paint is sold, it is most often stored at the store in a basis colour and intended to be mixed into a colour selected by a customer.
  • the container When a colour is selected and a necessary amount of colour pigment is applied, the container is exposed to an excessive shaking in a shaking machine. When exposing a container relating to prior art to such an excessive shaking, it is very likely that the protective layer(s) will detach from the inner side of the container.
  • a solution to this problem is to provide a protective layer, easy to apply to the container and easy to remove from the container after use, which layer will not detach during excessive shaking of the container.
  • the container is provided with an inner lining of a peelable coating and where a removable tab in a transition area between a body or middle portion of the tab and the round going skirt is provided with a weakening line or a number of connection points to be broken when tearing off the removable tab attached to the peelable layer.
  • An advantage achieved by applying such a protective peelable coating or layer to a container is that when the container is emptied, residues normally remain on the inner side of such a container.
  • the protective peelable layer By applying the protective peelable layer to the inner side of the container before filling, it is possible to remove the protective layer in one piece covering the inner side of the container, the piece now forming a kind of bag being able to enclose the residues.
  • the residues together with the peelable protective layer can be disposed of as dangerous goods if necessary, and the container can be used again or recycled, i.e., as plastic scrap.
  • the peelable layer does not disintegrate when peeled off, the container thereby being able to contain the residues left on the inner side of the layer.
  • the peelable layer can be removed by hand or by a suitable tool, the tool being operated by hand or automatically.
  • the tool can be a removable tab placed on the upper edge of the container.
  • the peelable coating is applied as water-based or Acetone-based emulsion.
  • the coating is cured by UV light.
  • the peelable coating is applied as water-based (e.g., acrylic), acetone (e.g., PVC)-based emulsion, or as a UV curable lacquer.
  • water-based e.g., acrylic
  • acetone e.g., PVC
  • UV curable lacquer e.g., UV curable lacquer
  • the thickness of the lining is in the range from 50-400 ⁇ m, alternatively 50-300 ⁇ m.
  • the container is provided in a further embodiment with a roughened surface on the inner side of the container.
  • the roughened surface is applied only on the side of the container and not to the bottom.
  • the inner side of the container is roughened by blasting from particles.
  • the peelable coating is applied by spraying, by a roller or by spinning or rotating the container.
  • the inner side of the container is roughened by blasting of sand or glass particles or by corona or flame treatment.
  • the lining is applied directly after the container is moulded.
  • the lining is applied to a container being a previously produced container.
  • the containers are stacked shortly after applying the inner lining.
  • a solution to the above problem is also achieved by a method where the container is provided with a removable tab in a transition area between a body or middle portion of the tab and the round going skirt is provided with a weakening line or a number of connection points to be broken when tearing off the removable tab attached to the peelable layer.
  • the peelable coating or layer also is applied around the upper edge of the container and to the outside of a round going skirt extending downwards from the upper end of the outside of the container.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a container being provided with a protective layer
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows a container with a left side cut away and a right side provided with a lid.
  • the drawing in principle shows how a container 1 is provided with a protective layer 6 according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the invention is not limited to a single embodiment, but comprises further embodiments derived from the specification.
  • a peelable film or layer 6 on the inside surface 2 of a container 1 .
  • the film or layer 6 is applied to the container 1 before filling with paint or other fluids.
  • the container 1 is emptied of paint or other fluids, it is possible to remove the residue by peeling off the film or layer 6 .
  • the film or layer 6 turns into a bag containing the paint or other fluid residue and thus leaving the container 1 clean from paint or other fluid.
  • a peelable coating shows remarkably good properties to be used in combination with such a container 1 , which is mostly produced in a kind of plastics.
  • the peelable coating is applied as water-based or acetone-based emulsion.
  • the peelable coating is applied as water-based (e.g., acrylic) or acetone (e.g., PVC)-based emulsion or as a UV-curable lacquer.
  • the peelable coating dries into a solid film or layer 6 and after curing the surface is resistant to paint.
  • curing can be provided by drying and/or heating by blowing a gas, such as air, at a temperature selected according to the desired curing time into the container.
  • a gas such as air
  • Curing can also be provided by radiation from one or more UV light sources.
  • the container 1 is provided in a further embodiment with a roughened surface on the inner side 2 of the container 1 .
  • the roughened surface on the inner side 2 of the container 1 is provided by particle blasting or by corona or flame treatment.
  • the peelable coating or layer will then have a sufficient weak adherence to the plastic container to be peeled off after use but an adherence strong enough to stay in place during filling, transport and tinting/shaking.
  • peelable coating When the peelable coating is applied, which application can be performed by spraying, rolling, by pouring a sufficient amount of peelable coating into the container and following spin or rotate the container in such a way, that the peelable coating will be applied to all over the inner side of the container. How long the spinning or rotating period should be, depends on the temperature and on the desired thickness of the protective layer.
  • FIG. 1 shows a simple way to apply the peel-able coating by a nozzle 4 at a supply tube 3 , which nozzle 4 produces a spray 5 and thereby applies a protective film or layer 6 in form of a lining on the inner side 2 of the container 1 .
  • the protective and peelable layer protects the container from paint or like fluids or particle materials to residue on the inner side of the container.
  • the protective layer also can provide barrier means preventing compositions aggressive to the material used for the container to come into contact with the container wall.
  • An example can be protection of the container to solvent based liquids.
  • a further advantage to the invention is that the layer applied to the container is a relatively thin layer. Normally the thickness of the layer will be in the range from 50-400 ⁇ m, alternatively 50-300 ⁇ m.
  • the lining is applied directly after the container is moulded.
  • the lining is applied to container being a previously produced container, giving the possibility to make use of other containers or even previously used containers.
  • the containers are stacked shortly after applying the inner lining which also reduces unnecessary movement or handling of the containers.
  • the peelable coating 6 , 9 also is applied around the upper edge 7 of the container 1 and to the outside of a round going skirt 8 extending downwards from the upper end of the outside of the container 1 .
  • the upper edge of the container 1 is on the outside provided with a bead or ridge 7 intended to snap into a corresponding groove in a lid, which lid (not shown) when applied will abut an upper shoulder 11 of the round going skirt 8 .
  • the peelable coating 6 , 9 applied to the area around the bead or ridge 7 will provide a further sealing between the container 1 and the lid compared to a situation where no peelable coating is applied.
  • a removable tab 10 is provided in the round going skirt 8 .
  • the removable tab 10 is in a transition area between the body or middle portion of the tab 10 and the round going skirt 8 provided with a weakening line or a number of connection points 12 to be broken when tearing off the removable tab 10 .
  • the peelable layer 6 , 9 attached to the tab 10 will detach from the round going skirt 8 and from the inner side 2 of the container 1 .
  • the peelable layer 6 , 9 can be applied around the upper edge of the container 1 by spraying or by a roller.
  • the container can be fixed in a template which abuts the underside of the round going skirt 8 , preventing the peel-able layer from being applied to the rest of the outer side of the container 1 .
  • the container 1 can be held in a not rotating position or it can be rotated during applying the peelable coating 6 , 9 .
  • the outer side of the round going skirt 8 can be provided with a roughened surface.
  • the container is mainly described as a container for containing paint, but it is obvious that it is possible to use the invention in relation to other materials able to leave residues on or in the container.
  • the invention also applies to the use of a peel-able coating as an inner lining in a container for fluid or particle materials, such as paint or other materials able to leave residues on or in the container.
  • the invention is not limited to the use of the mentioned peel-able coating since any suitable peel-able coatings can be used as long as they fulfil the properties described herein.
